From the Director’s Desk…

The month gone by began with the promise of goodness and

festivities, and eventually got eclipsed with a rather unfortunate

deluge that engulfed the roads, hopes and happiness. With time,

the tides turned and the sun regained its lost splendour. Karma

suffered its share of the setback too. Our resurgent team came

to the fore once again, and like the phoenix we resurrected

ourselves. The world of HR moves on as usual.

We tried to make Sanwad more specific to HR news and views.

However, based on the feedback received we realised how

much the lighter sections of our newsletter were being missed.

We are happy to bring humour back into Sanwad. Thank you for

your feedback, and for allowing us to grow and improve.

Best regards,

Pratik Vaidya

Payroll

Moving to the cloud gives HR more power

Moving to the cloud gives human resources more power and spells a lot of value for chief financial officers,

as it means built-in cost.

Impact of technology on HR

A couple of things are changing in terms of how organisations can use technology and what they expect it

to do for HR. In the past there used to be so much focus on business process, but now we are seeing much

more focus on how the HR system gives us guidance. One of the biggest transitions that has happened in

the last 10 years is the rise of mobile and when you get to the fact that technology is in your pocket and what

the tools allow you to do, it changes HR from record-keeping and process management to information.

One of the biggest shifts we see happening right now is that as companies think about the digital

experience, there is a question about whether this is only mobile or could it be done on any device.

India and the Transition

Traditionally you would see a big focus on core HR and payroll. Now India is focusing a lot more on

employee experience – what it’s like for the employee to use the system, how employee is empowered

through the system... The emphasis is more on better information and better access for the employees.

Making the shift to the cloud

The first thing is access to technology. In the on-premise world, HR is dependent on IT to do everything –

whether it is an upgrade or configuration, etc, all this has to go through IT. And IT kind of looks at HR as you

are cost centres for the business, not profit centres. Moving to the cloud gives HR the power to say I update

when I choose because that’s part of the cloud. It gives HR access to newer technology and not wait for

permission from IT. More importantly, it has a lot of value because of the predictive nature of the cost. You

know how cost is going to be, you know your first implementation, you know your subscription, you can

plan for it in advance. You don’t have to wait for or budget for, you don’t have to think of expenditure

because it is a built-in cost and hence better from a planning standpoint.

Security on-Cloud

When we were in on-premise world we were still sending third-party content, where HR data is still being

sent to places where you have no idea about security. The question is more visibility and with that comes

more responsibility. Control over the process and a reliable partner can help greatly.

Human Resources

Manpower outsourcing has become a much-talked about phenomenon where recruitment and staffing is concerned. It has proven a viable option for several companies in many situations, and the avenue for outsourcing manpower continues to grow.

The decision to recruit a resource on the payroll or look for an outsourced solution can be a tricky one. It depends on several factors including the nature and duration of the job, the resources available at hand, the investment required and the level of expertise the job demands. There are many distinct advantages that both bring, and neither is without failings. Here is what outsourcing and hiring can bring to your company.

IN-HOUSE RECRUITING

- Fosters progress, since there is active engagement with employees, and free exchange of ideas. Also promotes a better, more collaborative working environment.

- The security of a salary and benefits often lend to more sustainable relationships with extended loyalties. The chances of leaving are lower.

- Greater security to intellectual property and working solutions owned by the company.

- Issues and crises are resolved with greater immediacy.

- Proves more attractive when pitching to external audiences like clients and other investors.

- Can sometimes be hard to find quality talent required for a job, being more location bound.

- Proves to be a longer process with formalities, recruiting and on-boarding. There is also the need to cater to employee benefits as commensurate with norms

OUTSOURCING

- Resources available for jobs are highly skilled and specialised at their work. There is little training or orientation required

- With the avenues available today, finding the right resource for the job is much easier, and works better for companies even if the person is located far away.

- This method works perfectly for shorter term projects which are of shorter durations.

- Checking for credentials of the resource is difficult, as it can often be highly exaggerated. There is also a risk of exposing intellectual property and confidential information

- There may be communication gaps with different working times and styles between the organisation and freelancer.

- This usually proves to be a more expensive option since resources charge higher sums for projects.

The monsoon apart, it was raining festivities at Karma. And everyone at the office took to the festive spirit with gusto. Whether Independence Day, Janmashtami or Ganesh Chaturthi, we came in with all our colurs, enthusiasm and spirit. Those that pray, eat and celebrate together grow together.
